Encrypted Google Drive cloud backup

Cloud backup is the Pro disaster-recovery path. It stores encrypted backup files inside your own Google Drive appData folder instead of on a RepairNode server, and the decryption secret comes from your recovery phrase.

What Pro cloud backup includes

• Encrypted Google Drive backups stored in the hidden appData folder.
• A generated 12-word recovery phrase with later re-verification support.
• Backup History with manual restore and delete actions.
• Optional media handling for repair photos and signatures, plus shop logo restoration.

Google sign-in and recovery phrase

• Open Settings → App Settings → Backup & Restore.
• Sign in with the Google account that should own the backups.
• Set up the generated 12-word recovery phrase and complete the verification challenge.
• If Device Lock is enabled, viewing the saved phrase later can require device authentication first.

Automatic backup and history

Automatic backup runs silently only when backup is enabled, Google is signed in, a recovery secret is available, and the last backup is older than 24 hours. RepairNode also keeps tiered history for manual, daily, weekly, and monthly snapshots so you can roll back to older points in time.

Restore and media handling

• Restore from Backup History on a new or reset device after signing into the same Google account.
• RepairNode validates decrypted data before swapping the live database.
• A restore starts a short cooldown so auto-backup does not immediately overwrite fresh recovered data.
• Photos are restored from their stored Drive assets when photo backup was enabled; signatures and the shop logo are restored through the encrypted backup/media flow as well.
